The power is pretty disappointing if you're coming from a sport bike, but I have seen several people that are about your size ride them, and they bought the DR-Z over other bikes. I bought a Husqvarna SM610 recently, and most of the time I'd be just as happy with the DR-Z, but I could find oil filters.
how well do these bikes do on the highway? i am looking at getting one but my only concern is i dont want it reving at like 5 grand going down the high way
They do fine on the highway if you're up to it. They definitely don't do 5000 rpms, more like 11000, but they'll do it all day long. I went to a 16 tooth countershaft sprocket and it really helped with the sound, but it didn't give it any more top end, just lowered the RPM.
Nice video, I enjoyed the editing, though I do agree with teez333999 about the script. How do you like the bike. I'm looking into getting one for a starter bike.
Would have been even nicer without the "Unregistered Version" text smothered all over the screen: Aren't you being a little dramatic and overly protective about your video to keep the text the whole time? What's up with that?!
I'm about 5'11". You can put on aftermarket seats and lowering links if you need to. I could almost flat foot both sides, so you should be ok if you are ok with only putting one foot down at lights.
You will be fine... I have a drz400s which is 2-3 inches taller i believe.... and i am fine on it can get 2 feet down a bit more than tip toes... You will be fine on the SM guaranteed.

Nice video.The only problem is the writing in the middle of the screen. I would have liked it more had the writing not been there.
Cheers.

Actually thats from the free "trial" version of the program I used to make the video. I've since learned how to make it much less noticable.
